  1. git: Update version from 2.13.4 to 2.14.1

    [Release notes for version 2.14.0][1]:

    >  * Use of an empty string as a pathspec element that is used for

    >    more explicit '.' for that instead.  The hope is that existing

    >  * Git now avoids blindly falling back to ".git" when the setup
    >    sequence said we are _not_ in Git repository.  A corner case that
    >    happens to work right now may be broken by a call to die("BUG").
    >    We've tried hard to locate such cases and fixed them, but there

    >    greatly appreciated.

    >  * The experiment to improve the hunk-boundary selection of textual
    >    diff output has finished, and the "indent heuristics" has now
    >    become the default.
    >
    >  * Git can now be built with PCRE v2 instead of v1 of the PCRE
    >    library. Replace USE_LIBPCRE=YesPlease with USE_LIBPCRE2=YesPlease
    >    in existing build scripts to build against the new version.  As the
    >    upstream PCRE maintainer has abandoned v1 maintenance for all but
    >    the most critical bug fixes, use of v2 is recommended.
